.There is a strong incentive to develop and characterize noncarbonaceous materials for use as negative electrodes that deliver capacities higher than carbon. In 1994, Fuji Film Co., Ltd., filed a patent for Sn oxides as a novel anode material for lithium ion batteries with a theoretical capacity exceeding that of carbon. 1 However, the tin oxide material showed high irreversible capacity during the first cycle, which has precluded its commercial success as an anode in lithium ion secondary batteries. The large irreversible capacity is caused by the reduction of the tin oxides and the formation of lithium oxide during the first cycle. 2 Nonetheless, the studies on tin oxide material demonstrated the possible performance given a tin-based negative electrode material. To mitigate the irreversible capacity associated with tin oxides, several attempts have been made to develop nonoxide tin materials with both high capacity and long cycle life. 3-26 From these studies, it may be seen that the selection of an adequate matrix that can accommodate the volume change of tin during cycling is crucial to a successful tin anode compound that can deliver both high capacity and long cycle life. Elements that are inactive against lithium are assumed to suppress the volume change effectively without appreciable irreversible capacity. Alloying Sn with elements such as Fe, 15-19 Cu, 20-23 Mn, 19,24 and Co, 19 has been investigated based on this assumption. Nickel is a typical element, which does not react with lithium and can be expected to serve as an adequate matrix for improving the cycleability of the electrode without high initial irreversible capacity.
